INDIVIDUALITY
An individualist is a person who does things without being concerned about what other people will think or say. Individualists value independence, freedom and self-reliance highly. They are more likely to resist rules and conventions, and have a need for originality. Individualists also believe that values, rights, commitment and duties should be addressed at the level of the individual, as opposed to group level. They care about making a distinguishable contribution, and enjoy challenging established consensus. Low scorer find it easier to “fit inâ€, and are more likely to adhere to group norms, rules and consensus.
INTELLECT
Intellect and artistic interests are the two most important, central aspects of openness to experience. High scorers on Intellect love to play with ideas. They are open-minded to new and unusual ideas, and like to debate intellectual issues. Low scorers on Intellect prefer dealing with either people or things rather than ideas. Intellect should not be equated with intelligence.
ORDERLINESS
People with high scores on orderliness tend to be methodical, well-organised and diligent. They have a desire for order, and enjoy working with systems and processes where there is a “place for everything, and everything is in its placeâ€. High scorers find it easier to adhere or conform to a given method or routine, and perform tasks in a diligent way. They enjoy making lists and plans. Low scorers find it more difficult to keep things well arranged and organised. They address tasks at hand in a more ad-hoc, flexible basis, and often complete tasks very close to the deadline.
Your Team Role
IDEA GENERATOR
Creative thinking is a process that can be learned and practiced, and everybody on the team should contribute towards idea generation and problem solving. The Idea Generator has a particular strength when it comes to developing new concepts. Enable them to build on this strength, and to challenge conventional thinking and driving innovation in the team. Idea Generators keep coming up with new ideas in high volume even if not all of them are taken forward or meet with criticism. Accept that not all of these ideas might be applicable (they might have their head too much in the clouds), and that implementation might take longer than they think. Explain to others that creative processes need to be given enough space, and help to create an "idea- friendly" environment.
